Morimoto LED XB Headlight review

Triple Bi will produce so much better high beam than the XB single.

 

1 M-LED produces more low and high than all 3 XB's combined

Speaking of..when do yours come in?

 

Yeah, those Bi-LEDs look sick.

Got them today, already hooked them up on my rack and tried them out for some initial testing fun. Will need to spend some more dedicated time with them though.

 

And this is why I almost want to have a retro done with the M-LED instead of the RX350 lmfao.

 

RX's are still the best. But I don't have the room for a standard length projector like that(they are too deep) and access to the bulb would be impossible. Which is why the M-LED fit the build perfect.

 

You’ll need more than 1 per side to outperform the RX350 projectors with quality HIDs.

 

See...this is why I come to this forum. When I absolutely want to have the ability to seer the retinas of oncoming drivers you fella's always have the knowledge. And knowing is half the battle!

 

Exactly. I need to get mine on before the market gets flooded with OEMs.

 

Jokes on you, cause I am!

 

This is true.
Although not much, the MLED Isn’t too far behind the RX. Chip flip helps. more like 1:1.2
So 3 should do it I hope
what

I actually plan to angle them similar to what Acura does in their JewelEyes.
A few degrees and it shifts the hotspots for much more width of light.



Since there are only 3, Im going to do something like;
0°
10°
20°
Hopefully the cutoff will stay at the same or lower levels as they angle.

 

Dude what is your deal with shitting all over these? They look good perform better than stock, and have you ever even purchased an OEM LED headlights from another manufacturer? $1200 ain’t all that bad.

 

I can’t read this post because you’re lighting up the east coast from NorCal

These things are gonna be stupid bright. Does California inspect lights, too? I would love a live stream of the inspector’s (or referee’s) face when you click those bad boys on

 

Stock Tacoma headlights






Morimoto XBs







MESO Customs Triple MLED build

 

Meso will you ever come out with your own headlights???? I’d be a customer for sure!

 

Prob not


One of these is not like the other



All projectors are bolted together and on the same level.

 

How much more output do you really gain??
Here's the answer:

STOCK XB's @13V pulled 1.57A


Decent cuttoff. No color


LUX(yes I know this isn't 100% accurate with LED readings..but if gives us some type of comparison.
And don't mind my dirty shop door




Now for the "TRI-LED"

13V was pulling just over 6A


3 cutoffs:



Final output? It was off the scale, to I had to move the meter to the next level so X the number by 10

4X

 

California does not inspect vehicles, so no light inspection. California is pretty lax when it comes to vehicle "rules".

 

Very nice. I will say I would love to have that color in mine, but I know it won't happen unless I upgrade.

 

I’ve only failed a smog and told to go to the ref.. at which point I said I’d plate it in WV. They didn’t like that.. and I didn’t know / see if there were any other parts of the test.

 

Don’t you have the same lights as me? Pro tuning with Morimoto HIDs. I have that blue color cutoff. I have the Morimoto 50watt A/C ballast and Morimoto 6500k bulbs.
You should be able to get it with yours?
Not like Stew’s, but still blue cutoff.
